Comment:
I'm still not very familiar with `xbps`, but it looks to me also that having some of kind of pre-transaction hooking mechanism to issue special commands to would also simplify things when such potential conflicts occur. 

This `xbps` fork, for example, claims to have both a pre-transaction and post-transaction hooking mechanism akin to, I speculate, `pacman`.

Mind you I haven't tested nothing of it, nor I have audited the actual coding quality, nor I know anything about this user. 

Compared to Arch, I'm actually impressed at how hooking mechanisms are scarcely necessary overall, and how `xbps` is more resilient than `pacman` overall. 

Still, if such edge cases become relevant enough, I guess transaction hooks may become more of a necessity.  

Otherwise, sticking to template-based checks as it's been done here may also work in most cases, I guess.
